Chapter 56: An explanation

Jack's POV

So this day is just getting worse and worse. I nearly got into an accident, twice! No matter what, I didn't slow down, I continued to run to Elsa's house. Just before a junction, I didn't look left or right, I just dashed across the road. A loud horn made me stop dead in my tracks. I turned around and saw a car.

"Hey kid, watch where you're going! That was close you know!" The driver came out and shouted.

"Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!" I said over and over again as I quickly walked over to the other side of the road.

The driver got back into the car and drove off. Make that thrice now, 3 times I nearly got into an accident. It's all for Elsa, I reminded myself, all for Elsa.

I ran to Elsa's house and hammered on her door. Come on, come on! Someone answer the door! The door finally opened, good! Anna was standing by the door, with a packet of doritos chips in her grasp. "Oh, it's you. What do you want?" Anna asked as she crunched on her chips.

"I'm here to see Elsa." I quickly replied.

"Why? So that you can break her heart again? Boast to her about your new girlfriend which was your old one?!" Anna snapped.

"What?! No! I would never break her heart!" I yelled.

"Oh really? Then what the heck was that back in school?!" Anna shouted back.

"It was a misunderstanding!" I tried to calm myself and her down.

"You were kissing her for more than a minute! Oh wait, WAY longer than that!" Anna said with her mouth full, causing some chips to spill from her mouth.

"Please, PLEASE give me a chance to talk and explain everything to Elsa!" I begged.

"Explain all you want, no one's going to believe you! The proof is all here!" Anna shouted and slammed the door shut.

"Anna? ANNA!" I hammered on the door, knocking on it non stop. "Olaf? Elsa?! Someone open he door please!!!!" I shouted.

The knocking went on and on for 5 minutes, and Anna was not going to open the door. I groaned in frustration. I walked around the house, trying to find a way in. The windows were all to small for me squeeze myself in. I yelled loudly and shot off my powers at the wall. It immediately turned into ice. Still, nothing helped.

I walked back to the front door. It was still locked, no way to get through it. Suddenly, an idea popped in my mind, I stood in front of the front door. I touched the handle and froze it. I made more ice through the key hole. With some luck, I might be able to open the door from the inside. I couldn't see anything from out here, so I heavily relied on the ice.

I twisted and twirled my am, hoping that the ice was able to reach the lock. I'm quite sure that I will be freezing the whole door soon. I gestured my hand, and I heard a sound. Was it the lock? I tried to open the door, yes! It opened! I walked inside and quickly removed all the ice. The door was 3/4 covered in ice.

I tiptoed around the house, trying to not alarm anything or anyone. Anna was no where to be found, probably in her room or something. I walked around looking for Elsa. She was no where to be found either. I approached a room when I heard a beautiful voice singing.

And who do you think you are?

Runnin' 'round leaving scars

Collecting your jar of hearts

And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold

From the ice inside your soul

So don't come back for me

Who do you think you are?

I hear you're asking all around

If I am anywhere to be found

But I have grown too strong

To ever fall back in your arms

And I've learned to live half alive

And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are?

Runnin' 'round leaving scars

Collecting your jar of hearts

And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold

From the ice inside your soul

So don't come back for me

Who do you think you are?

And it took so long just to feel alright

Remember how to put back the light in my eyes

I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed

'Cause you broke all your promises

And now you're back

You don't get to get me back

And who do you think you are?

Runnin' 'round leaving scars

Collecting your jar of hearts

And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold

From the ice inside your soul

So don't come back for me

Don't come back at all

And who do you think you are?

Runnin' 'round leaving scars

Collecting your jar of hearts

Tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold

From the ice inside your soul

Don't come back for me

Don't come back at all

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?

It was Elsa's voice, she was singing 'Jar of Hearts' from Christina Perri. She was terribly upset, I knew it. From that song, I could totally tell that she was heartbroken. I wanted to see her, but I was afraid that she would feel worse.

I opened the room door without knocking. I saw Elsa lying down on the bed with lots of papers surrounding her. I took a step into her room and I nearly slipped. Her room's floor, oh wait, the whole room was covered in ice! Elsa turned around, all with red eyes and saw me. "You." She said sternly. "E-Elsa." I stammered.

"What. Do. You. Want." Elsa glared at me.

"I want to talk to you." I replied.

"Why?" She shouted loudly.

"I want to explain everything!" I said.

"Explain? Yeah right." Elsa said as I saw that tears were threatening to spill.

"Elsa, please, don't cry." I said as I walked closer to her and I was also trying not to slip.

"Get away from me!" She yelled.

"Elsa please-"

I couldn't finish. Elsa got up and shot something at me. It was ice. I got pinned to the wall. I heard Elsa gasp and the horror look in her eyes. "Oh my gosh, I-I....I'm so sorry Jack!" Elsa said in horror.

"Uh..." I looked in confusion. I looked down, there was ice on my hands and legs. Still they were nothing, I could easily remove the ice. I was just about to do that when Elsa quickly gestured her hands and all the ice was gone. I fell down on the floor but luckily there was ice on the floor to cool it down.

"Jack! Are you ok?" Elsa examined me worriedly.

I threw a smile at her. She still cared about me. There was still hope. "I'm fine, thank you." I rubbed the tear trickling down her cheek.

Elsa looked at me blankly. "Yo-You ok?" I asked, worried. "What are you doing here again?" Elsa asked after she realised what was happening. "I wanted to explain. Back in school, me and Tina-"

"Exactly, what Anna said was true yesterday. You still cared about her, and too much, and now you're dumping me!" Elsa cried harder and harder.

"I would never dump you!" I said as I hugged her. "Believe me, Elsa, please."

"The-Then why?! Why were you kissing her? I saw it with my own eyes! Do you even know how long you two were k-ki-kis-...." Elsa stammered as she tried to say the word 'kissing'.

"Elsa, here my explanation first, ok?" I said as I removed all the ice from her room with the flick of my hand.

Elsa went to her bed and cried again as she buried herself under the covers. I got up when I saw Anna at the door.

"Elsa- OMG Jack what the heck are you doing here?!" Anna yelled.

"I want to talk to Elsa, I said it before." I rolled my eyes.

"You got her crying!" Anna said as she marched to me.

"But-"

In a moment of panic, Anna raised her fist to punch me. She nearly punched me, but I froze her arm, accidentally! "Sorry!" I gasped as I removed the ice. "Cold cold cold cold cold!" Anna said as she rubbed her hands.

I quickly went to Elsa and looked under the covers. "Look, Elsa." I said as I touched her face. "Please, just hear me out." I looked into her crystal blue eyes.

"Um, Anna? Could you...." I beckoned my head to the door. She just nodded as she grabbed her icy cold hand and walked out.

"Why? Why were you kissing her?" Elsa asked, still sobbing.

"I was forced to!" I replied.

"Then why were you avoiding all of us in school? You were gone from class!" Elsa snapped.

"I sprained my ankle back then. I had to rest, so I couldn't get to class." I said.

"Then, how were you 'forced' to kiss Tina?!" Elsa asked loudly.

"I was walking to my locker, then she pushed me to the wall and kissed me! Then that strongest guy in school, Brent, was pinning me to the wall! I struggled, but he was strong. I couldn't move and that Tina was kissing me for like who knows how long!" I replied angrily.

"Surely you could have used your powers!" Elsa protested.

"Hello?! That was at SCHOOL! You want me to use my powers at school?! You want my secret to be exposed?! Wait, correct that, all of our secrets?! Elsa, I came here to make up everything to you, not to argue!" I said loudly.

"Because I still can't entirely trust you!" Elsa shouted.

"And why not!?" I asked.

"Have you forgotten what happened a few hours ago?!" Elsa snapped.

"But I already told you what really happened! And that is the truth." I stated.

Elsa sighed and she gave me a tight hug. "I'm sorry." She whispered. "No, I'm sorry. I'm the one wrong.' I said.

I pulled away from the hug. " So... We're good?" I smiled.

"Sort of." Elsa shrugged.

"Thanks for believing me." I kissed her on the cheek.

"Jack, I would like some time, alone, please?" Elsa begged.

"Of course." I said as I got up and reached for my bag. I went out of Elsa's room then house without a word.

I went back home, no one was home at all. I sat on the sofa and thought. With the Winter Formal coming up, I will have a chance to redeem myself. I have to use this opportunity to make it up to Elsa. It must be grand, touching and stuff. I thought and thought for quite some time then I snapped my fingers in excitement. Of course! I could totally do that! It would definitely fix all this mess. I rubbed my hands gleefully as I ran into my room.
